This essay will describe the progress I have made over this last semester to improve my writing ability in order to assess the effectiveness of the engineering technical writing course ENGI 2304, otherwise known as Technical Communications. I will discuss the writing process I have developed over the course of the semester, and then elaborate on how my writing ability has improved. Following that, I will choose my best and worst writing assignment from my portfolio and explain why I feel that these assignments are my best and worst. After discussing my best and worst assignments, I will illustrate to what extent I foresee writing will be involved in my professional career as an engineer, and to what extent I feel prepared to write at the level expected of an engineer.
When I began the semester I would write my papers without brainstorming, and with only a brief scan of the document as a substitute for editing.

This allows me to gather my thoughts in a coherent manner and ensure that I meet all the objectives of the writing assignment. These main points are then organized in the order that provides the most fluid structure. Once these ideas are arranged, the actual writing of the...

...During the Post-Classical Age, cities and urban areas in Muslim Society played cultural, religious, and interactive role. The first role cities and urban areas played was a cultural role. Al-Hijara, an Iberian Muslim of Arab origin, boasted that Cordoba became a superior and sought after region after the Arab conquest of the Iberian Peninsula; he attributed that fame to the fact that much research and investigation of literature and sciences took place there (Doc 2). A document from an unbiased citizen from a region other than Cordoba is needed to test if Al-Hijara’s statements about Cordoba’s achievements are true. The Spanish Muslim traveler and geographer Ibn Jubayr believed that Damascus was one of the most spectacular, breathtaking cities and that even Arab desert dwelling nomads considered it a paradise (Doc 1). A conversation between scholar Abd al-Rahman and poet Al-Jahiz reveals that Abd al-Rahman believed that cities and countries had more depth and areas of influence than what the average person may have believed (Doc 7). Document 10, which depicts a drawing of the round city of Baghdad, illustrates the reason behind the unique architecture of Baghdad.
In addition to a cultural role, cities and urban areas conducted a religious role as well. Ibn Jubayr, the Spanish Muslim traveler and geographer, also stated that Damascus was an important religious city because according to Islam, Allah gave refuge to Jesus and Mary in Damascus (Doc 1). Arab historian and...

Students in AP World History are expected to be able to write three different types of essays: a document-based question (or DBQ), a change-over-time essay, and a comparative essay. You can probably gather from the names what you need to do in each essay – the document-based question provides you with a set of documents on which to base your essay; the change-over-time essay asks you to analyze the changes and continuities that occurred within a certain period of time; and the comparative essay asks you to compare and contrast two episodes, cultures, religions, or other historical phenomenon from a given period.
Writing a thesis for an AP World History essay is a little different from other theses you may have learned to write in English or Oral Communications. Luckily, there is a basic format you can use for each of the three essays.
The key to writing a good AP World History essay is to tell the reader what you are going to talk about before you talk about it. The AP World History Exam refers to this as your thesis. The scoring rubric (the guidelines readers use to score your essays) requires readers to answer the following questions about each of your essays:
• Do you have a comprehensive, analytical, and explicit thesis?
• Is your thesis acceptable?
So how does a person write a comprehensive, analytical, and explicit thesis? What needs to be included? What is an “acceptable” thesis and what is an “unacceptable” thesis? Put simply, an analytical thesis will use...
